When I first started learning about training theory and writing exercise programs, the experts were focused on the concept of homeostasis: The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. One definition of recovery is "the ability to meet or exceed performance in a particular activity." While that's a fine definition, recovery is not just about performance in the moment, but also your body's ability to overcome and adapt to stress after exercise or competition.
What Is Recovery and How Do You Monitor It? If I've learned one thing over the years, it's this: It's not how hard you can exercise but what you can recover from that matters.
I've trained and pushed myself a lot over the years, and I've put countless thousands of people-of all shapes, sizes, and abilities-through training sessions, as well. (Because you never know-you may have gotten stronger that week!)
And, of course, my high school days, when I benched three times per week and maxed out every Friday. Back in the day, I used to throttle myself in the gym.
